In practice, the plastic window is not so perfect as described in the advertisement. They perfectly absorb not only the sound, but cold. So what’s the deal? Because the characteristics of window profiles in all respects superior to wood? The answer up to banality is simple — adopting European technology, domestic producers can not efficiently insulate them.
It is not surprising that 90% of Russians before the winter wondering how to insulate Windows? After all, our cold is no joke. Simple construction foam is not enough for insulation.
Before warm plastic Windows with their hands, it is necessary to assess the scope of work. First, the insulation will have to do both inside and outside. Secondly, the sill will also have to deal with.
The thing is that the installation of plastic Windows is often accompanied by considerable destruction. As a result, the holes between the sill and the wall are more than impressive.
Due to inept wall installation miss the whole bricks. And builders won’t add itself works often decide to insulate these holes, debris and cement. This satisfactory result can not be named. So the builders used the mounting foam.
Not surprisingly, the insulation of the window sill plastic window — must prepare for the winter.
Other reasons requiring the immediate insulation of plastic Windows for the winter, include:
- Sitting walls.
- Worn insulation.
- The loss of containment due to incorrectly installed soffits.
In the first case, simply adjust the fittings and everything will be fine. The insulation can be easily changed for a new one. But with razgermetizatsii areas will have some trouble.
The designated critical locations ↑
It is very important to know exactly how cold air gets inside. It is necessary to take a lighter and hold it around the perimeter of the plastic window. Pay special attention to the places where the frame joins the wall. The window sill and slopes well worth checking out. If no lighter, use an open hand.
Setup a clamping mechanism ↑
Over time, under the influence of mechanical and climatic factors grommet may lose in volume. Because of this, the air begins to get inside the room. Fortunately to insulate the plastic window is not necessary to change the gasket. Enough to handle prijemny mechanism.
To insulate the plastic window by adjusting the mechanism, you need to find the protruding cylinders in the slots of the metal plugs. They’re called axles and go to hooks on the frame.
To insulate the frame, move the hooks to the desired position. Or adjust the axle. To change position of the Circlip you have to loosen the bolts. Move to the side of the street, increases the pressure, and to the side of the room decreases. Here is a detailed video on how to insulate the plastic window independently by adjusting the clamping mechanism:
Heat tape ↑
Film for insulation of plastic Windows allow to significantly reduce heat loss in the house. However, to its application had the desired effect it is necessary to properly prepare the surface. In this case you will need the following tools:
- stationery knife;
- Hairdryer;
- scissors;
- Scotch.
Initially, the surface should be cleaned from dust and dirt. Wipe the glass carefully (the layer of dirt and dust impedes the penetration of sunlight inside). To check the quality of cleaning, take the paper and press it will hold on the glass, you should hear a distinct creaking.
The perimeter of the box paste double-sided tape. The edges of the film are separated with a utility knife. Cutting it with scissors to the window size and stick to previously attached adhesive tape. Take a hair dryer and rinse the film with warm air. The resulting swelling prick with the tip of a knife. This is the easiest and cheapest way to insulate a platinum window.
Insulation slopes of plastic Windows ↑
Material ↑
To hold the insulation of the slopes of plastic Windows with their hands, to stock up on these materials:
- extruded polystyrene;
- foam;
- the sandwich panel;
- Isover (glass);
- mineral wool.
The materials used for insulating the inner and outer slopes. Their proper use will allow you to provide an additional layer of protection and good insulation.
How to insulate the slopes of plastic Windows from the street? ↑
First and foremost, safety is important. If you are above the second floor, it is better to call industrial climbers for the job. No problem, you can insulate the plastic window with his hands inside the loggia. The algorithm works as follows:
- Crop residues of construction foam.
- Treat the slopes with primer with anti-bacterial additives.
- If need be, make plaster.
- Cut from foam polystyrene tiles to size of slopes. Spread them on the adhesive and press it onto the surface. For greater reliability, use dowels.
- Install area.
- Apply to tile adhesive, put the fiberglass mesh. Wait until dries over the glue, using putty knife.
At the end of the warming slopes of plastic Windows, paint the surface with latex paint.
The insulation of the plastic Windows allows the outside to avoid condensation. Besides, the room becomes much warmer.
How to insulate the slopes of plastic Windows on the inside? ↑
Sometimes after pulling out the old Windows, the inner slope is similar on the battlefield. Not surprisingly, constant drafts near the window to blow all the heat. In addition, the pieces of foam have an extremely unsightly appearance. The process of warming includes the following stages:
- Cut the unnecessary foam.
- Apply primer to the slope, preferably with an antibacterial effect, that there was no mold.
- Knead the solution — make the plaster.
- Clean the surface and apply primer again.
- Cut the appropriate size foam slab.
- Rastrapati the surface of the foam, apply the glue and attach to the surface.
- Wait until dry, and set the area, zashpaklyuyte.
- Secure the trim.
Finish can be varied. The most commonly used plaster and painted. Also now in trend the drywall. Here’s a good video on how to insulate the slopes of plastic Windows from the inside:
How to insulate sill plastic window? ↑
Over time, under the action of mechanical loads and thermal factors, the foam becomes unusable. Cracks, besides, this sealer tends to crack.
To insulate the sill plastic window will have to buy the spray foam. The price average is 200-300 rubles, depending on volume and quality. It is best to give preference to European brands.
Remove the old foam and run the dispenser across the length of the base frame. This insulation is not very good with small cracks. They are best insulated with silicone sealant.
The use of foam and sealant allows to efficiently insulate the sill, covering all problem areas. The silicone has water-repellent property. It deeply penetrates into the crack and seal it.
The results ↑
To warm plastic Windows with their hands. This requires a minimum of tools and materials that can be purchased at any hardware store. Importantly, a comprehensive approach to this issue. And note that the warming is preferably carried out both inside and outside. Also do not forget the window sills and slopes.
